Forget about memory pills and other drugs to keep your mind razor-sharp. These simple yet effective tips will help you in building a smarter and sharper brain which can retain a great amount of names, phone numbers and everything else that is needed in running daily chores.

1.       Sleep- Less than 7 hours of sleep can impair memory and decreases the ability to make judgments. Therefore, you must choose a dark and quite room to ensure that you have a peaceful sleep.

2.       Breathe deeply- It is essential to breathe deeply to have a safe and sound mind. Inhale to the count of 4, hold for a count of 7 and exhale to the count of 8. This exercise is much needed before you start your day.

3.       Eat Healthy- Omega 3 is a vital ingredient which helps improve concentration and increases retention power. It is essential to keep your meals balanced so as to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

4.       Drink Water- Since 2/3^rd of the brain is composed of water, it is essential that you must drink more than 10 glasses of water in a day.

5.       Avoid Alcohol/Smoking- Alcohol and smoking can have drastic impact on your body and mind. While the alcohol shrinks the cerebral cortex, smoking lowers blood and oxygen supply to brain.
